    Valve Confirmed to be Working on Steam for Linux

    One of the longest-running and most rampant rumors surrounding Linux in the past couple of years is that Valve has been making a Steam client for the platform. Up to this point, there's never been solid evidence of it happening, and a couple of years ago, Valve head Gabe Newell just came out...

    Intel this week has launched its long-awaited Ivy Bridge processors, ushering in both 22nm and tri-gate era. As the third-generation Core product, it'd be expected that some nice features would be present and performance improved, and that's just what we got. While performance improvements are...

    Google Launches 'Drive' Online Storage Service; Offers 5GB to Free Users

    That's how I see things also. I'd mainly use a service like this for some sort of collaboration, or if I just wanted to put important files I would never want to lose on there as a third backup. As for your account not being able to access Drive yet, I think they are being careful about rolling...

    Small changes to classic video games

    Some of these are good. Oddly, I find the first 15 or so to be the best, with the latter half being kind of "meh". http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_352_27-small-but-disastrous-changes-to-famous-video-games_p27/

    AMD to Slow Driver Support for Radeon HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series

    If you're running an AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000 or 4000 series graphics card, listen up. AMD has just announced that driver support for those series will be moving to a quarterly cycle, beginning with the May 2012 release. Current-gen cards (5000, 6000 and 7000) will continue to receive driver...

    Google Launches 'Drive' Online Storage Service; Offers 5GB to Free Users

    Online storage services are a dime a dozen, so whenever a company finally decides to toss its hat into the ring, it's usually hard to get excited about. Of course, things change a bit when that company is Google. After all, millions are already heavily invested in the company's many other...

    Diablo III Free Open Beta

    Wow, it's been a while! Hope things are good! I am going to pass on DIII, but about half of everyone I know will be playing it this weekend ;-)

    UPS fail

    I just can't help it. This is what I received today: This is to receive a package, by the way, not send it. And even then, I send packages all the time through FedEx and never have that issue.

    Intel Announces SandForce-based 330 Series SSDs

    On Monday Intel unveiled its new 330 Series model of SSDs, but not all is as it seems. First, the 330 Series is not actually a replacement for the current 320 Series. Instead, the 330 is intended to act as Intel's new budget friendly model, for reasons we will delve into below. Secondly, unlike...

    Western Digital Releases 1TB VelociRaptor; 25% Faster than Last-Gen

    Will see what I can do. Won't be for a while though as I'm moving in the next week or so and don't have a good Raid controller on hand (not sure if I need one, though).

These include the standard "Windows 8", "Windows 8 Pro", "Windows 8 Enterprise" and "Windows 8 RT" - the latter of which is designed to be pre-installed, and only on ARM devices. There's no mention...

    NVIDIA Posts Teaser Pic on GeForce Facebook Page

    NVIDIA shot us over an e-mail this morning to point our attention to a teaser pic that was posted to its GeForce Facebook fan page. The picture is dark, has low detail even when the brightness is cranked up, and at this point, could be anything. Is it a dual-GPU (a la GTX 690)? Is it a laptop...

    Windows Update

    Ugh, I'm at a loss. I am hoping someone else can chime in with other ideas. The last time I had a problem this complicated I ended up just reformatting. Not an idea situation that's for sure. This highly unlikely has anything to do with the ISP change, since your other PCs are fine.

    CM Storm QuickFire Pro Gaming Keyboard Review

    It might in fact be a PS/2 limitation, not a mobo/BIOS limitation. In looking around it did seem that PS/2 was better supported for N-key rollover, but until this keyboard I literally never heard of the term before.

    CM Storm QuickFire Pro Gaming Keyboard Review

    As we discovered in our review, Cooler Master's QuickFire Rapid mechanical keyboard is a good one. But, it lacked a couple of things that some gamers (like me) demand. Such things include backlighting, a numpad, and in rarer cases, N-key rollover support. All of these things can be found on the...

    Western Digital Releases 1TB VelociRaptor; 25% Faster than Last-Gen

    The reason this is dubbed as a "workstation" drive is because it's best-suited for heavier applications, on par with the same ones you would run, or video editing and that sort of thing. $300 for 1TB is a lot cheaper than what you could match on the SSD side, and since the performance is much...
